THE WEIRDO

The first night without the men around isn’t easy. I can’t sleep comfortably in my brother’s bed. I feel an intense responsibility to take care of my sister-in-law and nephews. Maude is in charge of Max tonight. Eventually, the house gets quiet, and I’m cuddled in bed with Ramona. I swear she feels tinier than normal next to me.

I get up in the middle of the night to help with Ozzy and Iggy. The older boy barely stirs, only waking because of his baby brother’s cries. I decide to take Ozzy downstairs to give him a bottle while Ramona coaxes Iggy to sleep. I expect to find her crashed in bed when I return, but she’s wide-awake, fighting tears.

“Shane’s missing you too,” I promise as I turn off the light and corral her under the covers. “Well, he’s probably exhausted after riding all day and then drinking a lot of beer with the guys.”

“Do you think he’s safe?”

“Oh, yeah. No one’s going to mess with all those scary men. I bet his biggest threat is diarrhea from eating off the grill.”

Ramona gives me a little smile. “I forget how heavy the world feels when he isn’t around.”

“I’ll help keep you light. Anything you want, just ask. Shane needs you to be safe, and I can’t disappoint my baby bruv.”

Yawning now, Ramona smiles softly as I turn off the lamp. Only a small corner nightlight keeps the room from complete darkness. Accustomed to sleeping with the TV on, I toss and turn until she asks if I want to watch something.

“I’ve never loved you more,” I lie, having loved her so much on many occasions.

Once I have the TV light flickering, I finally relax. The boys won’t be up for hours, Ramona dozes next to me, and the dogs are cuddled in the corner. I crash hard into a good night’s rest at that point, dreaming of Goliath riding next to me on the road. I can’t take my eyes off him and end up crashing. Fortunately, in my dream, driving headfirst into a school bus doesn’t hurt.

The next morning, Ramona continues to struggle. Max plays her favorite music like Fleeting Fox and other stuff I wish didn’t exist. Mom and Dad take the boys to give Ramona a break. Kelsi explains how a turkey baster will be her baby daddy. Our efforts help, but the house feels weird without Shane’s and River’s energy here.

Around noon, I announce to the group, “Taylor and I have decided to take on the roles of our missing men. I’m obviously Shane without the beard and big balls. Taylor is River.”

“I don’t even need a mirror to know I’m beautiful,” she says in her River voice, which gets a big grin out of Max, Raven, and Vaughn.

Stroking my imaginary beard, I lower my voice to say, “We’ll do what they do.”

“Not the fucking, though,” Taylor clarifies and winks at Max.

“What does that mean exactly?” Vaughn asks, and I think he’s just trying to start trouble.
